This is an awesome multi-purpose lantern......but after packing 2 of these away for emergency, we found out 15 months later that packing them away with the 8 D batteries in it totally drains all the batteries as it recharges the panel lights. They were filled with 8D Energizer batteries with a 10 year shelf life :/ From now on, the batteries will be stored next to the lantern so we will have light when needed.
